Parallel clamps- I have been thinking of getting some because they look damn useful. I have checked out the Bessey clamps and did not like how they closed. I have been using a combination of quick clamps and pipe clamps and they work, but clamp and glue work can be a pain. I have read the reviews on this site and everyone likes all of these clamps. They like the Jet clamps the most, but is it worth the $15 price premium (or $5) over Jorgensen or Bessey? Actually I get 10% off of home depot prices, so that makes the price different even greater.

I also went with the Jorgensen clamps for the same reason as Michael. I buy them from Menards for a little cheaper than HD usually around here, and can never seem to pass one up when they’re on sale… if you get 10% off at HD, I would definitely go with the Jorgensen’s.

I have the old Bessy K-body clamps and the Jorgensen ones. Both work very well and I would definitely have a few on hand. I’d go with the Jorgensen as the price is a bit better. Fine Woodworking recommended them in their most recent test as well.
